This sketch was a challenge for me, I thought about it all week and made my card on Sunday morning! I usually put my focal points more towards the bottom of a card and this was the opposite. I contemplated which stamps to use, what paper...and finally just sat down and looked at my box of extras for inspiration. That's when it clicked!
I had a card base in Old Olive already embossed with Vine Street EF from Sale-a-bration. So, I thought floral would be the way to go. I added in a polka dot designer paper from Nursery Nest DSP. To give me a place to focus on building my floral arrangement I cut a doily in half and placed it at the top of the card. I added in flowers and leaves from the Secret Garden Bundle.
As in the past, I heat embossed the flowers in white then used an aqua painter and re-inkers to color them. Lastly I added in the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I hope you will join us at Technostamper for this week's challenge.

Pretty card! I love all the pearl embellishments.
Very nicely done Nicole... love the softness of the flowers.
Sure don't look like you struggled with the sketch at all--just as beautiful as always. Love those soft pink flowers. And you always make those doilies work! By the way--I made a card for Flashback Friday this week--Hope you don't mind me playing along with your idea. I have it linking back to you. Thanks for the beautiful card for my sketch challenge!
